writes are running. Some of the cases which are not handled properly in driver are:
1. With R1 fastpath supported, single write from CAM layer can consume 2 MPT frames
at driver/firmware level for fastpath qualification(if fw_outstanding < controller Queue Depth).
Due to this driver has to throttle IOs coming from CAM layer as well as second fastpath
write(of R1 write) against Adapter Queue Depth.
If "fw_outstanding" reaches to adapter queue depth, driver should return IOs from CAM layer with
device busy status.While allocating second MPT frame(corresponding to R1 FP write) also, driver
should ensure fw_outstanding should not exceed adapter QD.
2. For R1 fastpath writes completion, driver decrements "fw_oustanding" counter without
really returning MPT frame to free pool. It may cause IOs(with heavy IOs running, consuming whole
adapter Queue Depth) consuming MPT frames reserved for DCMDs(management commands) and
DCMDs(internal and sent by application) not getting MPT frame will start failing.
Below is one test case to hit the issue described above-
1. Run heavy IOs (outstanding IOs should hit adapter Queue Depth).
2. Run management tool (Broadcom's storcli tool) querying adapter in loop (run command- "storcli64 /c0 show" in loop).
3. Management tool's requests would start failing due to non-availability of free MPT frames as all frames would be consumed by IOs.
Fix: Increment/decrement of "fw_outstanding" counter should be in sync with MPT frame get/return.

Due to hardware errata in Aero controllers, reads to certain
fusion registers could intermittently return all zeroes.
This behavior is transient in nature and subsequent reads will return
valid value.
Fix:
For Aero controllers, any read will retry the read operations
from certain registers for maximum three times, if read returns zero.

For Aero adapters-
1. Driver will use 32 bit atomic descriptor to fire IOs and DCMDs.
2. Driver will use 64 bit request descriptor to fire IOC INIT.
3. If Aero firmware supports 32 bit atomic descriptor, then only driver will use it
otherwise driver will use 64 bit request descriptor.
For rest of adapters(Ventura, Invader and Thunderbolt), driver will use 64 bit request
descriptors only.

capable IOs. NVME specification supports specific type of scatter gather list
called as PRP (Physical Region Page) for IO data buffers. Since NVME drive is
connected behind SAS3.5 tri-mode adapter, MegaRAID driver/firmware has to convert
OS SGLs in native NVMe PRP format. For IOs sent to firmware, MegaRAID firmware
does this job of OS SGLs to PRP translation and send PRPs to backend NVME device.
For fastpath IOs, driver will do this OS SGLs to PRP translation.

required Write IOs as Fast Path IOs (after the appropriate checks
allowing Fast Path to be used) to the appropriate physical drives
(translated from the OS logical IO) and wait for all Write IOs to complete.
Design: A write IO on RAID volume will be examined if it can be sent in
Fast Path based on IO size and starting LBA and ending LBA falling on to
a Physical Drive boundary. If the underlying RAID volume is a RAID 1/10,
driver issues two fast path write IOs one for each corresponding physical
drive after computing the corresponding start LBA for each physical drive.
Both write IOs will have the same payload and are posted to HW such that
replies land in the same reply queue.
If there are no resources available for sending two IOs, driver will send
the original IO from upper layer to RAID volume through the Firmware.
When both IOs are completed by HW, the resources will be released
and SCSI IO completion handler will be called.

certain RAID volumes like Read Ahead volumes,this will help driver to
send it to Firmware even if the IOs can potentially be sent to
hardware directly (called fast path) bypassing firmware.
Design: 8 streams are maintained per RAID volume as per the combined
firmware/driver design. When there is no stream detected the LRU stream
is used for next potential stream and LRU/MRU map is updated to make this
as MRU stream. Every time a stream is detected the MRU map
is updated to make the current stream as MRU stream.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.
Reported by: wosch
PR: 225197
Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
The sim_vid, hba_vid, and dev_name fields of struct ccb_pathinq are
fixed-length strings. AFAICT the only place they're read is in
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.c, which assumes they'll be null-terminated.
However, the kernel doesn't null-terminate them. A bunch of copy-pasted code
uses strncpy to write them, and doesn't guarantee null-termination. For at
least 4 drivers (mpr, mps, ciss, and hyperv), the hba_vid field actually
overflows. You can see the result by doing "camcontrol negotiate da0 -v".
This change null-terminates those fields everywhere they're set in the
kernel. It also shortens a few strings to ensure they'll fit within the
16-character field.

MFI linked list in megaraid_sas driver is used for mfi-mpt pass-through commands.
This list can be corrupted due to many possible race conditions in driver and
eventually we may see kernel panic.
One example -
MFI frame is freed from calling process as driver send command via polling method and interrupt
for that command comes after driver free mfi frame (actually even after some other context reuse
the mfi frame). When driver receive MPT frame in ISR, driver will be using the index of MFI and
access that MFI frame and finally in-used MFI frames list will be corrupted.
High level description of new solution -
Free MFI and MPT command from same context.
Free both the command either from process (from where mfi-mpt pass-through was called) or from
ISR context. Do not split freeing of MFI and MPT, because it creates the race condition which
will do MFI/MPT list.

This can happen if mfi(4) and mrsas(4) are both attached to cards and
providing Linux emulation support. Let the first one win. An equivalent
change has been done in mfi(4). Extra credit would be to pass the
Linux emulation call to the other driver when appropriate. This will
